Specifying the Boot Method

You can enter multiple boot commands in the configuration in NVRAM to provide backup
methods for loading a system image onto the router. There are two ways to load a system
image—from Flash memory or from a network server:
Flash memory
1
Flash memory allows you to copy new system images. Information stored in Flash
memory is not vulnerable to network failures that might occur when you load system
images from servers. In the following example, replace filename with the filename of
the router software image:
Router> enable
password: enablepassword
Router# configure terminal
Router (config)# boot system flash filename
Router (config)# Ctrl-Z
Router# copy running-config startup-config
